Anaretica. The sharp threshold of change whose lore is unequivocal. Whose true name is destroyer. Whose point of no return drags fate over its falls. The bleeding edge of resistance, teetering at its own inevitability. The moment right before everything changes forever.

Helios and Hades in congress there at the border of Capricorn and Aquarius, their annual tête-à-tête a proving ground. The sun god and the dark lord looming over a teeming earth from the crossing. The true power of shadow and light in union and service to each other. The shaping frame and the sinister glow, glaring truth and dark delight.

The last degree of Capricorn may be the malefics' domain, but that's not all it reeks of. Not here and not now as the old world's psychopathy tears itself apart. Its sense of finality spells the end of old ways that need to pass away. No way back is closure all of its own. Dense hopelessness offset by the revolutionary promise of Aquaria, underlining the new epoch's ethos and ushering in hope, vision and innovation. Now showing near you, and worth seeking.

This is collective upheaval for a purpose. Hard yards we cannot unmake. We feel the lash of the mergoat's tail, reminder of the sobering reality of planet rebirth's late stage crossroads. All it has cost. What we have lost. Grief bloodsoaks the edges the whole way. And we feel a spike in frequency and imagination, the water bearer's signature shimmer echolocating the future. Both at once and more besides. Extinction vies with evolution everywhere you look.

Inevitable trajectory soon won't be set into ancient stone. The old scrolls will dissolve, hieroglyphics reforming as new languages birth whose names and sounds are yet to roll around our hungry mouths. Starving humanity will be slaked by the many not the few. The future's fingers different drumming in our bellies as the wind rushes over the breach.
